Uniqueness and nonlinear stability of positive entire solutions in parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis models with logistic source on bounded heterogeneous environments

Abstract

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis model with logistic-type sources in heterogeneous bounded domains: \begin{equation*} \label{u-v-eq00} \begin{cases} u_t=Δu-χ\nabla\cdot (u \nabla v)+u\Big(a_0(t,x)-a_1(t,x)u-a_2(t,x)\int_Ωu\Big),\quad x\in Ω\cr τv_t=Δv-λv +μu,\quad x\in Ω\cr \frac{\p u}{\p ν}=\frac{\p v}{\p ν}=0,\quad x\in\pΩ. \end{cases}\qquad(\ast) \end{equation*} \noindent We find parameter regions in which the system has a unique positive entire solution, which is globally asymptotically stable. {More precisely under suitable assumptions on the model's parameters, the system has a unique entire positive solution $(u^{\ast }(x,t),v^{\ast }(x,t))$ such that for any %$t_0\in\RR$ and $u_0\in C^0(\bar{\Omega }),$ $v_0\in W^{1,\infty }(\bar{\Omega })$ with $u_0,v_0\ge 0$ and $u_0\not\equiv 0$, the global classical solution $(u(x,t;t_0,u_0,v_0)$, $v(x,t;t_0,u_0,v_0))$ of $(\ast )$ satisfies $$\underset{t\to \infty }{\lim }(\underset{t_0\in \mathbb{R}}{\sup }\Vert u(\cdot ,t;t_0,u_0,v_0)-u^{\ast }(\cdot ,t){\Vert }_{C^0(\bar{\Omega })}+\underset{t_0\in \mathbb{R}}{\sup }\Vert v(\cdot ,t;t_0,u_0,v_0)-v^{\ast }(\cdot ,t){\Vert }_{C^0(\bar{\Omega })})=0.$$
